WOW Jim...what a sweet review on that ski....and I love the dims..

If we're talkiing price point....I gotta believe the 11mm in fatness are going to cost ya...I'm guessing Ron's going to be pricing out those Pilgrims right.

If you decided to keep the 84 Watea for your everyday ski...I think it might be worth the width to go to something in the 100 to 110 width for those pow and deep crud snow days. On those days you're not using that width to create high edge angles like Mike was saying.....it can be hard on the knees especially when something 100+ wide decided to hook up. Never had any of that at all with the Pilgrims but did with teh Watea 94.

The key is to determine what you want them for. My JJ's are not for carving....they're for slurrying, slurping, surfing, floating, and sucking up and gliding over pow and soft crud. I wouldn't even think of taking them out on a hard snow day of any kind...I've tried and the vibration beat the crap out of me.
